Nutritional value of Yam
Although
they're considered to be a starchy vegetable, yams are made up of
complex carbohydrates and dietary fiber allowing for slow uptake to
keep blood sugar levels even. The vitamin A in yams has several
functions, such as maintaining healthy mucous membranes and skin,
heightening night vision, supporting healthy bone development, and
providing protection from lung and mouth cancers.
